Lighting was horrible and my pictures came out slightly grainy. What can I do to take these pictures to the next level.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

Did you use fill flash? Your camera is more then capable to take a good image. Maybe it is your experience or limitation of the lens used? GordWeber.com

I use to leave WAY to much headroom until I heard "Too much headroom" over and over... I hope you don't mind but I fixed the grain in one of the shots.

In #1 take a big step to the right if you can. #2 is ok but I don't like the two colors. #3 I don't see the point, no focus. The others are ok, nothing grabs me though. Also the exposures aren't very accurate. I like the ideas behind it, keep trying Professional wedding photographer, solution architect and general technical guy with multiple Amazon Web Services certifications.

Gord I used the Rebel XT kit lens, ISO 400, no flash (didn't want to bother anyone), 1/160s at f22. I have very little expereince, which is why I need C&C - help is very appreciated! ---------------

Made me jealous, as my last wedding was in a cave and all the cake pic's needed flash. As others have said, the crop of some of the images is questionable. If you're not including faces, you have to be including something to look at, ie there needs to be a point to the picture, other than chopping the heads off 'for a different view'. 2 and 3 don't really have a subject, but 7 does.
